Abstract
Recently, there has been significant interest in a specialized inter-disciplinary movement in healthcare called inter-professional education and practice (IPE/P). Health policy-makers and education programmers are beginning to adopt and fund its concepts. A review of extant literature reveals that most contributors to this initiative belong to the health professions while formal education scholars and their full spectrum of approaches and methods are not yet apparent. This paper provides a review of pertinent IPE/P literature and offers an introductory commentary and appraisal drawing on education’s Humanities lenses, specifically philosophic inquiry. The paper concludes with a sketch outlining the merits and instrumentality of pursuing a philosophy for IPE/P.
